You can add the ServiceInstall element by itself without the ServiceControl.
Add the ServiceInstall in the same component that defines service file. The
service file needs to be the KeyPath. I would recommend not having any
other files in the components, which is good practice anyway. Something
like this should work fine.
<Component Id="TheServiceComponent" Guid="{GUID HERE}">
<CreateFolder />
<File Id="TheServiceExe" KeyPath="yes" Source=".\thefile.exe" />
<ServiceInstall Id="TheServiceInstall" Name="SomeServiceName"
DisplayName="The Service Display Name" Start="disabled" Type="ownProcess"
Account="LocalSystem" Interactive="no" ErrorControl="normal"/>
</Component>
